Professionals have yet to take advantage of a .tel domain to administer their online image and identity. I'm at a loss to understand why so few doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, salespersons, or business owners have not grabbed their .tel domain.
Never has anything so powerful and inexpensive been disregarded by the business community.
A .tel is a new TLD that lets the domain owner to store, post, and manage contact information and search terms directly in the Domain Name System (DNS), the international system that stores locations of all the websites in the world.
For the first time in the history of the Internet, personal and business information can be stored directly in DNS.
16 Factors to Consider - Personal and/or Business .tel:
1. Claim your name. There are thousands of "Robert Jones" or "John Smith" competitors for your .tel. Be the first.
2. Manage your info. Post your contact info, text, photo, keywords, as well as location in several public and private profiles.
3. No hosting required. Your information is stored directly in the DNS structure and does not require separate web hosting.
4. Economical. Domains are available for less than $20 per year - and no additional hosting required.
5. Profiles. Control the information you wish to share. You can have separate public, private, work, home, vacation, or any other profiles.
6. Business directory. List all of your internal phone numbers and email addresses.
7. Mobile friendly. Your .tel domain will load almost instantly and read easily in any smartphone.
8. Professional profile and branding. Own your identity, no matter who you currently work for.
9. SEO optimized. Ranks high in the search engines. Within a day or so, YourName.tel could appear on the first page of Google when someone searches for "Your Name". Be found more quickly via search engines. Structured information, keyword phrases, and hyperlinks to a domain name all enable search engines to determine the weight and purpose of the .tel.
10. One point of contact. You can make YourName.tel you individual lifetime point of contact. Regardless where you live in the world, your info is available to clients and customers.
11. Make modifications almost instantaneously. Updates are visible in seconds.
12. Branding. Put your .tel on your business cards, websites, and sig files. Your information is always up to date at all times. For kicks, you can make a simple business card that only shows "YourName.tel".
13. Simple. Your friends, relatives, and business contacts will always know where to go to find a mailing address or phone number.
14. Location. If you choose, you can include a map to your location.
15. Keywords. Employ an unlimited number of keyword phrases to market yourself. You can inform people where you work, your hobbies, your qualifications, anything you wish to share publicly, and display a picture or logo for easy recognition.
16. One-click dialing. From your mobile phone, you can click on the site phone number and dial instantly.
No platform comes without a downside. Remember, the info you make public is available to everyone online.
Information to omit:
* Social Security Number
* date of birth
* home address
* bank information
* financial details
Your username and password are all you'll need to login to the .tel control panel. Don't share your login info with anyone.
Once you have set up your .tel, I recommend you post the link on business cards, online business profiles, websites, blogs, and anyplace you would be able to generate business leads or help your existing clients or customers.
